The Better Half Pub – a traditional pub with great food

The Better Half Pub is tucked away in Hove’s neighbourhood just behind on Hove place. Named after the ‘better half of Hove’ one of Hove’s oldest public houses has been revamped to now boast classic pub furnishings with a modern twist. In the summer why not take advantage of their heated rear courtyard garden – perfect for alfresco dining or a quick pint.

Pub Menu – The Better Half Pub

Here you will find a menu that prides itself on using locally sourced, top-quality ingredients in every dish. Focused on relaxed dining it’s the perfect spot to chill out and enjoy great food in a laid-back atmosphere. Meat is sourced from Steyning Butchers and they do a mean roast on a Sunday.

The Better Half Pub – What’s on offer?

The menu includes gastro-pub gourmet classics that have been cooked with skill, care and passion. Some of these include a delicious selection of burgers including a vegan option, comforting pies and of course, the all time classic – fish and chips. For something smaller there’s a lovely selection of sandwiches or perhaps order a few small plates to accompany your drinks. A kids menu is also available with a small selection to choose from.

Homemade Burgers

All of the burgers at The Better Half are minced fresh daily using prime rib of beef, and they also make their own buns, pickles, ketchup AND skin on chips offering unique competitiveness to the already strong Brighton burger scene.
